Here is a message from a sweetheart, soon, and a sum of money Is sent to you, for sure quite a large sum." "It had better be, I expect my ex pens money when I reach Los Angeles," Jaxie laughed. "A rather light man is very deeply interested in you not a blond man. I think he has red hair, perhaps" "Tommy again." f , "I say, can't you shuffle Tommy ut of there and find a man with well, black hair and blue eyes? Elrby demanded. "He It here, but there is trouble with him, also." Jaxie looked up anxiously to meet Kirby's glance. He sobered. "Oh, look for another one like that with lots of happiness around him.' .' "Miss Cameron faces a great happiness, but that will come later. There is a sudden death In the cards, also, but ft does not closely concern her at all only an incident In her experience. A man, I think. . It is a very near event," A strained silence closed upon the listeners, as the mention of immi nent death always affects any group of mortals. A sudden en trance from the corridor attracted attention and they looked up to find Clarice in the aisle. She smiled at ilervin Gaines, who rose quickly and bowed. "A very interesting little seance we are bavins here, Miss Cole. Will you join us?" He Introduced her around. Her wide eyes appraised them recognized Jaxie, smiled - sweetly at Kir by, glanced coolly at Misa Proctor. - "Miss Cameron is having her for tune told," Kirby explained. Clarice hesitated, decided to favor them with her presence, and sat down beside Jaxie, with Gaines bal anced on the arm of the seat beside her. They had no more than settled themselves when Bortin and Mur ray appeared and joined the group. There is always curiosity about group ef people, whatever may be their reason for congregation. It was not long before all the occu pants of the car were sitting or standing about the table except the little" man in section one and the farmer and his wife the three who usually remained aloof from all contacts.' Interest grew intense, silences strained and humor brittle, as they listened to this Impromptu . oracle. Miss Proctor's remarks were followed by bursts of incredu lous laughter half fear, half be. . lief; awe mixed with contempt Whether Miss Proctor told them things which she did not see, or di vined that which she did not dis closewhether, indeed, she pos sessed any power ef divinition the revelations of the hour influenced any thought for many and Grade B raw 4 per ceat milk, Salem basic pool price 92.22 per hundred.

At any rate the episode provided pleasant hour for the bored pas sengers of car 74J-, as tne train hurled itself into the time and space of that future over which they half seriously jested. Clarice demurred when it was suggested that Miss Proctor should peer into her future, but the Insist ence of the group prevailed. With a toss of her head, she exchanged places with Jaxie and flipped the cards with ill -concealed scorn. Didnt she know what her future held? Wasnt she the controller of her own destiny, aa perhaps few people were? "I ean see, warned Miss Proc tor, "that ynu have little faith in the cards, but they promise for you a brilliant career and a great oppor tunity which you face almost at once. Clarice and Games exchanged wise glances. "This opportunity will be presented through a woman, a very blonde woman, and will be brought about by a near-tragedy. Tears and trouble stand between you and this opportunity." "I never shed a tear in my life I scoffed Clarice. "There's a first time for every thing," Marie observed flippantly. How it's my turn I" She shuffled the cards noisily, de lighting in the brief period ef hold ing the center of attention, "Now, dont tell me any secrets about my self that my husband shouldn't hear," she warned archly. "You will contend with much Jeal ousy from your husband." was the first revelation. Marie giggled. "That must be a sign that he loves me a lot" Miss Proctor continued. "There is a great deal of talk around you, and many people. There is sorrow over, a surprise, and then much hap piness. You are easily content. ine men displayed even more contempt for the performance when it came their turn, but they shuffled the 'cards at Miss Proctor's direc tion with a care which betrayed their unconscious respect for the occult. Miss Proctor glanced up sharply irora iter brat survey ex Gaines' cards to meet a gleam of fierce ex pectation in his eye. She laughed nervously. "I see nothing around you except trouble and blonde ladies." Everyone laughed with Gaines. "What could be more natural?" he shrugged. "They go together like pie and cheese. I'm used to that." "You will not remain for long where you are going. Another long journey lies ahead ox you not very pleasant one, it seems. .There Is a big complication over money matters.' "That seems to be the eternal problem for everyone," he agreed with amusement. To Kirby, she promised his wish. wiia a sudden disturbance in his a-Tain, aa enemy very dost to him Profit Taking Splits Gains Chicago Values Boosted 1H Cents but End Point Higher CHICAGO, March 2Htfn- Wheat values moved briskly up ward 1 cents, but profit-taking curtailed gains t- day. Surprise upturns of llTerpool wheat Quotations gave emphasis to trade misgi-ings about warlike threatenings abroad, and so too did large purchases of Australian wheat by great Britain and. Port ugal. Besides, it was estimated that export takings of North American wheat today totaled up ward of 500,000 bushels. Largely United States hard winter grades. Weather Continues Dry A further market stimulus was the fact that weather in domestic wheat areas southwest continued dry. At the close, Chicago wheat futures were - r.ove yes terday's finish, May 86-, July corn hk-Vt advanced. May 60 July 62-62 H, oats un changed to 4 up, rye to 1 cent down, and provisions not al tered.

"I can handle any of the rest ox It, if I get my wish," he declared jubilantly, and dismissed the rev elation with a wide gesture. The tram slowed for the stop at Trinidad and the group dispersed. to drift through the doors into the atmosphere of the highest altitude they would reach on the journey. Far above the city, on the loftiest peak, the beacon light for aircraft bunked a sage warning, and huge illumined letters formed the word "TRINIDAD," boastfully. None might attain to its height, they seemed to shout. Small lights winked feebly up the side of the mountain aa if they had accepted its challenge, only to hang; suspended midway, helpless. o Kirby leaped up the steps after Jaxie as the train began to move. They entered the car to find all of the berths made up and most of them occupied. He said, in a low ered voice, "It's -early yet, only eleven o'clock. Don't say you wont sit on the platform with me for a while." "That's exactly where I'm coine now. We pass through the first tun nel on this route just beyond Trini dad, so the conductor told me this evening. I couldnt miss that thrill," she laughed up into his face, bent near to hers in their low-toned con versation. I'm glad for any attraction which gives me your company," he declared. They swayed through the car be tween the walls of arreen curtains and into the narrow, deserted corri dor from the windows of which the outside world was a blurred streak of daraness. Aa the door clanged shut behind them, the train lurched sharply around a sudden curve, and they were jostled against each other. Kirby's hand reached out to steady her, and in the next moment they were clinging to each other. breathless with their first kiss; blue eyes and brown meeting full of questions; trembling bands that held to each other. . . "Darling!" his Hps formed the word, but the sound was lost In the train's clatter. The red and green lights of a section signal flashed upon them through the door for a fraction of a second. The dim light glowed and wavered above them. But they neither knew nor eared what lights might shine upon them or what darkness envelop them. "You do love met Say that you dot" Bis Lips moved against her face, turning her strength to weak ness and her reason to chaos. With a little gasp, Jaxie pro tested, "But I've known you only eince last night," and knew that a moment or all eternity are one and the same, when one has found love. (To be continued) CaarrlaM.

Crimson Clover Is Finding Favor on Clackamas Farms OREGON CITY That crimson clover has made a place for itself in the agriculture of Clackamas county is shown in records of the soil conservation service, which indicate that more than 1000 acres of this relatively new crop were planted In the county last year. Typical of the experiences of farmers trying this crop is that of Edward Shearer of Springwa ter. says County Agent J. J. Ins keep. His land is rather acid and he has had difficulty getting a stand of other legumes. Last July he sowed 11 acres of crimson clover, which furnished fall pas ture and has furnished pasture for his dairy herd since the first week in January, this year.

The winter wheat crop was forecast at 630,000,000 bushels and the spring wheat production at 200,000,000 bushels. Such a crop, the department said, would be 160,000,000 bush els in excess of the 1932-36 aver age annual domestic require ments and would thereby increase surpluses, resulting probably in lower prices. Foresee Smaller Demand The department said that be cause of favorable growing con ditions in Europe there probably would be larger supplies abroad and consequently a smaller de mand for American wheat, "Less favorable conditions be tween now and harvest time," it said, "may materially alter the outlook for production and prices." Cherry Fruit Fly Control Reported Almost complete control of the cherry fruit fly was obtained in the large Lamberta orchards 10 miles east of here by following the spray recommendations worked out by the Oregon experi ment station, according to reports made by the growers to S. C. Jones, assistant entomologist at OSC. The Lamberta orchards have approximately 200 acres of cher ries, probably the largest cherry orchard in the Willamette valley. Although three spray applica tions will ordinarily give control, five sprays were applied in these orchards to be on the safe side. The material used is a sweetened poison bait spray applied to the foliage to kill the adult flies just before the cherries ripen. Bark for the Lady, Samuel! ole Sea-Dog: Barks, but Doesn't Bite!
